I Am Not the Kidney Brother

Mr. Lu Xun apparently said that if you want to stir up trouble, you should do it in a familiar field and absolutely avoid acting tough in unfamiliar territory, as it's easy to fail and end up being... cough cough.

Li Xian's familiar territory... it could be said that he didn't have any particularly familiar territory.

In college, he studied marketing, and not very well at that. After working for about two years, he was employed at an educational institution, but his job had nothing to do with education.

Therefore, regarding the broad concept of the marketing field, he was basically completely inexperienced.

Of course, this didn't stop him from stirring up trouble, nor did it stop him from spending money.

Whether he understood the industry or not, he'd just do it. Thinking too much about useless things was pointless and just delayed spending money.

Making money or losing money wasn't important; the main thing was to spend the money to complete the task.

Naturally, when spending money to stir up trouble, he wanted to do things he enjoyed, like eating, drinking, and having fun!

They chatted in the group for an entire afternoon without coming up with any particularly useful suggestions, but they eventually narrowed down a few options.

Barbecue city, bathhouse, foot massage center, KTV, bar, esports center (internet cafe), coffee shop, and so on.

It was already not easy for a few average people to narrow down the scope in an afternoon, especially since none of them had any entrepreneurial experience.

Most of the buddies in the group came from families with parents in public service, like teachers, doctors, state-owned enterprise employees, and government civil servants. Only a very few, like Wang Meng, had parents who were self-employed, similar to Li Xian's family.

The only one whose family was in business was Jiji, Sui Jiji. His family wholesaled seafood, but he didn't participate much in the family business and couldn't offer much advice.

Actually, Li Xian wasn't that indecisive. He eliminated a few troublesome options: bathhouse, foot massage parlor, KTV, and bar.

The remaining options were barbecue city, esports center, and coffee shop – a choice of one out of three.

Relatively speaking, these three choices involved much less trouble. Those other entertainment venues inevitably involved some unspeakable things, and they could get shut down at any moment.

"Report anything important early... Dismissed if there's nothing!" Li Xian sent a message in the group.

A flood of disgusted emojis "swish swish swish..." filled the screen. After a while, Wei Shao asked.

"How big is the project, and how much money are you planning to put in?" This was the most crucial question. After all this talk, Li Xian hadn't mentioned how much money he intended to invest. A hundred million was just a goal.

Li Xian: "Tens of millions."

Wei Shao: "..."

Jiji: "Don't scare me, I'm timid."

Brother Ma: "Whatever you say goes. I'm in the US anyway, so I can't reach you."

Master Jin: "I'll just quietly watch you act tough~~~"

Fatty Ye: "Boss, be practical and send a red envelope."

Meng Zi: "I can swear on the lamp that Brother Xian isn't bluffing."

"What I said is true. A few days ago, Brother Xian drove his Mercedes-Benz to pick me up for barbecue."

"We ordered ten plates of kidneys and spent five or six thousand."

"Brother Xian is currently staying in the Grand Hyatt Hotel Presidential Suite. You all saw him posting photos of the sea view these past few days."

"It's not a stolen picture. Has anyone seen Brother Xian post so much on Moments? Is he the type of person to show off casually? Could he be this boastful without any capital?"

Meng Zi went 1v5. Li Xian chuckled as he looked at his phone, genuinely surprised. He didn't even need to explain himself. He just watched Meng Zi systematically convince them all.

After a while, the group quieted down. Li Xian sent one last message to conclude today's summit.

"Let's go for barbecue tomorrow night. Anyone in Bincheng, don't give me any excuses."

Three average people are better than one genius. At critical moments, it's still important to band together. Going solo has never been Li Xian's style. Although these buddies might not be of much use, they were more than enough for running errands.

Sui Jiji was a local. Sun Wei, or Wei Shao, was currently employed at Z Lian Recruitment. Meng Zi was reliable and hardworking. Just like that, external relations, recruitment, and general assistance were all covered.

Make the best use of everything and everyone.

If you have helpers and don't utilize them, running around like a headless chicken alone isn't a sign of low intelligence; it means your head got stuck in a door.

The next morning.

Li Xian drove to the Ted Building.

This was where he worked. His company, Bainian Yucai, was located on the eighth floor of this building.

Bainian Yucai was a medium-sized educational institution. Its main businesses included college entrance examination application, independent admissions applications, applications for Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan institutions, and art student college entrance examinations, among others.

Simply put, it was an educational consulting company that helped parents and students overcome decision-making difficulties with its intelligent data platform for the college entrance examination system.

Uh... it shouldn't be viewed too narrowly. Applying for college entrance examinations is indeed a skill. Every year, countless students miss out on their ideal universities and majors due to a few points.

Bainian Yucai targeted these individuals, providing them with the help they needed.

Where there's demand, there's a market. This company used perfect big data analysis combined with genius teachers who had years of experience in grade inflation to help you get admitted to your desired university or major.

Just ask if you need this kind of help. Just ask if you're willing to spend money for the good deal of getting into a school through grade inflation.

9,000 yuan for college entrance examination applications wasn't expensive at all. 20,000 yuan for comprehensive guidance for independent admissions with a guaranteed preliminary review was also not expensive. For studying abroad in Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan... cough cough, it was only 30,000.

Of course, there were discounts during the off-season, up to 50% off. Don't even think about such good deals in June.

Li Xian worked at such a company, diligently making phone calls in the telemarketing department. His main task was to promote the company's free lectures on college entrance examination application to parents of students who were about to take the college entrance examination.

Calculated per person, fifty yuan each, with bonuses settled weekly.

Enough of that, everyone understands the deal with lectures. All I can say is, in the age of big data, information is money.

The G-Wagon entering the parking lot drew many eyes. Li Xian, dressed head-to-toe in black Adidas, was also the focus of attention. No one dared to dress like him.

"I have to say, that fatty looks pretty sharp in all black."

"Black makes you look thinner. He's naturally quite handsome too, and his skin is so fair."

"I really want to ask him what skincare products he uses..."

"Go ask him! He'll be gone in a moment..."

Arriving on the eighth floor and exiting the elevator, Li Xian hadn't walked a few steps before he heard hushed discussions behind him.

They were talking about him, he heard it clearly.

Last time his Appearance score directly hit 70, after undergoing a transformation, his senses became much sharper than before, especially his sight and hearing.

Before, he wouldn't have been able to hear such quiet voices from behind him.

But now, within ten meters, he could capture any movement.

"I use Dabao SOD Honey..." Li Xian smiled, turned around, and walked directly towards the company.

"He said he uses Dabao, is that true or not..."

"That's unlikely, right..."

"Is he stupid? He's just messing with you..."

The company was at the end of the left corridor. There was no reception desk; you could enter directly by swiping your card. The last office at the very end was their telesales department, and then three or four offices on either side belonged to their company.

Li Xian witnessed it all. Over two years of development, Bainian Yucai had grown from the initial twenty to thirty people to over a hundred, with seven or eight branch campuses outside.

He was considered an old-timer, but unfortunately, he was still just a small salesperson in the phone department.

This incident proved that not every company's little receptionist could get hundreds of millions in shares.

More often, people couldn't endure it and left silently in the end.

"Look who decided to show up. You're taking two days just to resign." Gao Ying met him the moment he entered.

A familiar face, a familiar loud voice. Gao Ying, at 173cm tall, wearing heels of five centimeters or more, really put some pressure on Li Xian.

"Heh heh. Hello, Sister Gao."

"You brat! Huh. You look different. A bit more handsome, a bit taller too." Gao Ying gestured with her hand to measure.

Li Xian pointed to his shoes and said, "These shoes add a few centimeters." He then touched his face, "I slept well these past two days, my dark circles are gone."

"That's what I thought," Gao Ying studied his shoes and muttered, "At least four or five centimeters of height increase."

Sister, what do you even pay attention to all day? You know exactly how tall I am.

Li Xian felt a bit speechless but couldn't show it.

Sister Gao had a fiery temper; you couldn't argue with her. If she got unhappy, he would be the one to suffer.

Honestly, Li Xian felt a bit sorry for Sister Gao. With her height and figure, it was ruined by a face with acne scars.

If she went to a plastic surgeon, got her eyes widened, her Appearance score would definitely be a perfect ten.

"What are you staring at?"

"A perfect ten. Uh, nothing." Li Xian sighed, speaking vaguely.

At this moment, Li Xian's team leader, Guan Yuhan, walked over. Her cool, pretty face rarely showed a smile, but this one held a hint of playfulness.

"Team Leader," Li Xian greeted her.

"Li Xian. Should I be calling you Kidney Brother now?" Guan Yuhan said with a half-smile.

"Huh?" Li Xian was a bit confused.

The next year, a head suddenly popped out from the work area, "Kidney Brother, you're famous now! Give me... come on, ten plates of kidneys."

What is going on?

Li Xian was completely bewildered. He looked at Sister Gao, who shrugged. He then looked at Guan Yuhan, who gestured towards the work area, "Go ask Zhang Cheng."

"Hahahaha. Kidney Brother."

"That video of yours is hilarious! Who filmed it for you?"

"Oh my god, I'm dying of laughter, Li Xian, you're too funny."

"..."

As he walked to the work area, everyone greeted him with smiles. This kind of treatment was a first.

Li Xian became more and more confused. He walked behind Zhang Cheng and clapped him on the shoulder, "What's the situation?"

"Brother Xian, let's get this straight, this has nothing to do with me." Zhang Cheng said with a fawning smile, raising his hands in surrender.

Under Li Xian's gaze, he logged onto a webpage, entered Bilibili, went to the trending videos section, and clicked on a five-minute video.

"Come on, ten plates, give, give, give. Give me kidneys, ten, ten, ten plates. Ki, ki, kidneys."

This is an extremely spoofed Bilibili video. The fat handsome guy on screen is reaching for a kidney, and there are even shots of him gnawing on it.

This fat handsome guy is none other than Li Xian himself.

Li Xian's face turned as black as charcoal, his cheeks puffing up rapidly, looking like they were about to explode.

"Brother Xian, don't get too worked up."

"Who the hell is this uploader who posted this video?" Li Xian swore directly.

Zhang Cheng shivered in fear and immediately pointed him out, "This bastard, his name is Squirrel Can't Beat Hamster."

"Damn it!" Li Xian gritted his teeth, his eyes blazing, when suddenly a "ding" sounded in his head.
